We are talking about the bullshit that comes out of his mouth and not his achievements.

Keep up.

I'm quite comfortable with Pep. If he does talk bullshit it's probably as a tool to take pressure off the players, backroom staff, chairman and ball boys. Ferguson did it all the time and it used to wind me up a treat. At the end of the day as a fan of the football team rather than the business of the club, he has delivered for me with some cracking memories (and a handful of bad ones) loads of shinny pots in the cabinet and a big fuck off to the countless media pundits that said his style wouldn't work in the PL, that said he was not managing players like Foden properly when only giving him a handful of games and generally that it's just the owners money that has delivered the tactics, formations, player and team progression rather than him. Sure, like all our managers and players, he has pissed me off at times but these are rare and far outweighed by the positives, I like him and can't wait to see this player, Absolutely No One . . . . does he play as a striker or is he another of those false 9 bollox types?

I’ve never really had an issue with what he has to say, it’s just part of the missive that top managers spout. His comments post-CAS, on Tebas and backing of our club against the constant attacks are very welcome.

A Manager's job spec includes doing what is best for the club. Full stop. To do this it is implicit that a lot of the time the public utterances will be pure BS.

Every manager does this including Pep.
So to specifically call Pep out for it, implying he is somehow behaving without integrity, is unfair IMO.

Re Kane, would you be happy if he said we have £150M to spare but we only want to pay £100M?
Pep's statement on what we can afford is just part of the negotiating strategy.

Getting smashed by Leicester and he’s “so so so proud of the players”. Yes of course, every manager would say the same thing…

Ferguson never said he was happy, or looked over the moon after a loss.

Most managers would admit when they’ve fucked up tactics.

When baldie says we were brilliant and he is so so so proud of our players (when we have just played shite and lost )..is that also part of managing shit performances strategy ?
Is not owning up to us fans with his continual brain farts ineptness in the CL also part of some managerial genius strategy ?

He talks more shit than any other manager Ive ever known............as I said , I take what he says with a pinch of salt but I would be lying if I didn't say 99% of the shit he comes out with didn't bother me - bullshitting to the press is one thing , not being straight with us fans on important issues is another.

Also - only a real man can own up to his short comings and admit it .......no matter what position you hold.

I’ll never ever forgive him for the CL final tactics and not playing Fern. I wanted to win that one for my mum but it’s gone now and even if we won it next year it’ll be too far away from my mums death for me to say “we won that for my mum”. Pisses me the fuck off and I’ll never forgive him for that. Plus my dads health is on its arse and I doubt he’ll get to see us win the CL now before he dies.

I agree with you re the CL.
Particularly the CL final as it was the same mistake made in previous years, overthinking and picking the wrong 11 and tactics.
All I wanted to hear after the final was something like 'I got it wrong, I apologize to the fans, we try again next year...'

The rest of the BS does not bother me in the slightest.

Actually, Pep's talk is a problem when he "is so proud" after a major fuck up and when he sucks on our opponents.

I don't mind media talk, I mind talking nonsense. I get he shows respect to other clubs, I think he is a nice guy with this, but It's like saying hello every day to someone that doesn't respond to your salute and will stab you with the smallest chance they have.

And I can't remember scouser and the rags actually saying something nice about us without including the word "money" in the phrase.

My main gripe in all this is his arrogance with us fans - he was like this from day 1 - as you say , all he had to say to us was sorry for fucking it up again , I will rethink my strategy in future —- his failure to do this and his continued arrogance to us fans is why I don’t fucking like him. .

Thanks for bringing up the CL final farce. My rehabilitation for getting over it was progressing well, now the brain fart memories are coming back to hunt me.

Or he could keep making the same mistake over and over in the champions league and never quite get it.
